Areopagita Sun, 22 Mar 2009 00:47:14 +0000 http://www.marketmanila.com/?p=744#comment-171411 I'm so glad that there's one guy like Mr. Ed Samaniego (Zacky"s Farm) who ventures into planting different herbs and making it available in the market for people like us who love to cook at home. I hope he'll continue to supply Rustans regularly with the rare ones particularly Kaffir Lime leaves, Galanggal, capsicums, etc. So, lets all support his farm. Recently I bought a small Kaffir plant at the Manila seedling bank but I'm not too happy with it since I find the one supplied to Rustans more aromatic and has a significant effect on my Thai recipes. Keep it up Mr. Ed Samaniego !

Even jalapenos can have different degrees of 'burn' coming from the same plant and this variation in heat can occur even in peppers grown in the US. The only way to really tell how hot a pepper will be is to go by the way each specimen tastes. This, from my uncle who was an excellent Mexican chef who had a restaurant in California,(even if he was Filipino).
